If you still talk about salary and potential changes ONLY for SB or about a direct bonus on ID,we can close in this moment the discussion.
You say:"Why we should punish who make wrong choces?"
But I can answer you:"Why we should reward who make wrong choices?"
So these proposal are far way from reality
My proposal about SB is related with ball circulation,because ball circulation is the way to avoid an adversary with great ID and SB or to give better shot against a great shot blocker,or to pass out the ball for some players in perimeter.SB related with ID could influenced the attacking choices of the attacking team,as yet only ID make in the current GE
About people who care Sb at the same level of other skills of big man,it's the same previous question:"Why we should reward who make wrong choices?"
And about Andersen(poor Andersen,maybe I'm too bad with you :D),he's not the starter in Denver Nuggets,the starter is Nenè,and that team went so goodl last year because it had players like Chauncey Billups,Carmelo Anthony,Kenyon Martin,JR Smith,not certainly for their reserve center :D

You say:"Why we should punish who make wrong choces?"

i say the game is very unbalanced on this point, and this need to be changed.

But I can answer you:"Why we should reward who make wrong choices?"

maybe to have a better game afterwards? And it isn't a reward, maybe it a regulation like the thing with the arena or the rebounding(ok more extrem then the rebounding).

About people who care Sb at the same level of other skills of big man,it's the same previous question:"Why we should reward who make wrong choices?"

why you argue the total other way in the arena thread ;)

Your answers aren't in the worth of the matter,i purpose a balancing of the game that i think fair and realistic in the game,you substain a renewal of the game that is unfair for the main part of the users and unrealistic,also if this is not your wish,that's the point
In every different question one person have to chose what re think is the right position,arena question doesn't have anything to do with SB question

I think that adjusting the impact of SB on salary would not really reward anyone that trained it (call wrong choice or misled). It would just not punish them that hard, they still wasted training and they still pay a higher salary. The problem is (the way i see it) that a PF or C pay more for his SB than for example a SF pay for his OD or ID.

at least i can see how killing the salary and potential effect for blocking on a fair will give the players advantage like he always said ;) Hey they still trained much for nothing, but at least training doesn't make the players weaker.

At least we have this new post: (93604.480) - the question is it is new or not? When the effect was from the old engine Forrest mislead us, but i way you could understand because it was very small the effect, else maybe we could close the thread for a while till we figur out if the change are good enough.

That sounds good, it seems hard however to evaluate? When a shot was missed was that caused by good defence or a block altering the shot?

in real games a block sometimes changes momentum, so why not add some kind of psychological bonus to blocked shots like poorer shot selection or slower offensive pace, more offensive fouls due to frustration, by the team that shot was rejected...

There are already 4 distinct effects from shot blocking that were mentioned in this thread. In addition, there is player momentum, so missing a shot makes it more likely that you'll miss your next one. How much more do we need? Shotblocking is not the only skill in the game, you know.
